What Are You Listening To Now? 6.0

Golden Earring: best of

After Barry Hay appeared during Ayreon's 2018 Graspop headliner gig, I decided to give these guys a bit more attention. To reduce Golden Earring down to "Radar Love" is a disservice to the band. They can write some kick-ass rock tunes.

I always did like "When The Bullet Hits The Bone".

Currently listening: Darren Korb: Transistor OST extended. Blank Canvas is less than a minute long, but it always gets me in the feels.

That's some intense stuff. The girls are beautiful and can move well in sync. But I'm so not a fan of the trap beat/EDM crossover and the amounts of vocal processing. I always jokingly refer to Ellie Goulding as a human SAPI voice, and this is even worse.
